Abstract: Wireless communication under IEEE 802.11 standards utilizing carrier specific interference mitigation where an AP or UE employs an ultra-wideband tuner to evaluate available spectrum between several communication bands. Rather than being constrained to communicate in a single communication band, the AP and UEs may utilize more than one communication band to communicate with one another. In doing so, the AP and UE search across several bands and measure interference on a carrier-by-carrier basis across those bands. Either of the AP and UE may select a cluster of carriers for communication, where the cluster of carriers may comprise 1) contiguous carriers in a single sub-channel, 2) contiguous carriers spanning across more than one sub-channel, 3) discontinuous carriers in a single sub-channel, or 4) discontinuous carriers spanning across more than one sub-channel. The mapping between a cluster and its carriers can be fixed or reconfigurable.

Abstract: A camera including at least one camera lens disposed on or in the outer surface of a front all of housing and an inwardly projecting concave dome recessed within a rear wall of the outer surface of the housing. The housing lacks protrusions extending rearwardly of the rear wall. The dome may be semi-spherical in shape, symmetrically bifurcated by a longitudinal bisector of the housing, and asymmetrically bifurcated by a latitudinal bisector of the housing.

Abstract: A heat sink and an EMI shield are integrated via injection molding. The heat sink and the EMI shield may be molded together as an integrated unit with an intervening non-electrically conductive layer formed between the heat sink and the EMI shield during the injection molding process. The integrated molded unit could also be molded to a thermally conductive layer comprising another material such as an elastomer suitable for more precisely conforming to the contours of an electrical component for maximizing thermal transfer. Accordingly, the number of steps and amount of materials required to provide thermal dissipation and EMI protection for an electrical component may be reduced.
